Alexander Volkanovski
Fresh off his third title defense at UFC 273, Alexander Volkanovski was in attendance for The New York Yankees vs Blue Jays match
Alexander Volkanovski cemented his position at UFC 273 as one of the most dominant champions in the game. The Aussie flatlined any resistance that The Zombie yielded, and completely dismantled him. This victory was his third successful title defense in the UFC.
The Volk is spending some time doing media appearances, and enjoying his victory. He was also in attendance at the Yankees stadium for the match between New York Yankees and Blue Jays.
‘Volk’ sent out his support for the team ahead of the match by posting a picture on Instagram with the caption, ‘ Let’s go @yankees ⚾️’
Yankees won the game 4-0.
Alexander Volkanovski reminded the world that there are levels to this game, and he is truly among the elite in the UFC roaster. In what was a one-sided effort, Volkanovski shut down any threat from the Zombie, and was hitting him at will with whatever weapon he fancied. In the end referee Herb Dean had seen enough of accumulated damage and called an end to the fight, even through Zombie showed the heart of a warrior.
Volkanovski currently has two victories over the former champion Max Holloway, and has beaten top contenders like Brian Ortega and Korean Zombie. While it will still take some more time for contenders like Calvin Kattar, Yair Rodriguez and Giga Chikadze to emerge as one worthy contender, Max Holloway is the only viable option left for the ‘Volk’ and the UFC.
While both of their previous fights were razor-thin contests, a strong margin from the MMA community believe that Max Holloway won the second fight. A trilogy looks destined at this point since both fighters were originally scheduled to fight on the UFC 273 card.
Another option that might present itself is a fight against former double champion Henry Cejudo, Cejudo even reacted to the main event at UFC 273 and expressed his desire to fight Alexander Volkanovksi and even claimed that he foresees a submission victory for him.
